Love (Poetry).

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂

 

Deep is my distaste for love poetry:

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”

Go do something useful, like pen a play…

The hose is missing, so this be my spray.

    Yes you! Love is wonderful.

    Andy

    • Doggerel Dave

      Don't think you got it, Andy. Poetic love is mostly crap. Real love is a totally different species.

      spray it like it is, why don'tcha .. 🐧👍

      • Doggerel Dave

        I try - hard to keep a grip on reality round here though, I tell ya....

        Only four lines long, but it gave me the laugh of the day. I kept rereading and laughed every time. I think, dear Dave, you should say what you really mean, lol. I get where you're coming from, and I just love you my friend. Priceless!

      • Doggerel Dave

        Bella, this is no laughing matter, I’ll have you know!!!!!!!!!
        Not to worry, I know where what and how…. And occasionally you can bump into a bloke like Seamus Heaney who knows what he is talking about….

        Thanks for a call I value very much.

          I think Seamus Heaney knows what he's talking about, as do you. I read the poem, and it is beautiful in its simplicity and imagery, love and commitment. What more need be said? Thank you dear Dave for suggesting it. Take care!

          • Doggerel Dave

            More than welcome, Bella - anytime I can find something interesting.
            I'm really glad I passed 'Scaffolding' on.
            Actually, this is not the first time I've nagged about this:

            Roses are red violets are blue... I used to write stuff like that but it's been too many years and I guess my testosterone has fallen. Now it's just laments about growing old, pain and loss.

            • Doggerel Dave

              I know - the agony of it all.
              But real love, so much more deep, complex and abiding is very many miles away from poetic nonsense.

              Hope you find love and the hose! 🙂

              • Doggerel Dave

                Got all the love I need - the real stuff', thanks.
                The hose was actually deliberately hidden. Happened like this: (a "the making of" bonus!) when hunting for my second line, I thought one about his love being like a red red rose was Shakespearian, but no - belonged to Robert Burns and as I didn't want a resumption of Scottish v English wars after so long had to take hose (hose - rose woulda been perfect!) away quietly..................

                Brilliant.

              • Thad Wilk

                Haa, I bet some love poems
                are a delight! 🌟
                Yup, 'specially the ones
                I bet you could write! ✍️
                Thanks for sharing my friend! ☺️
                Best regards ✌️ Thad

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Wouldn't dare try, Thad - I get into enough trouble as it is. Thanks for hauling this one out of retirement.👍
